[...] who want consumers to fight amongst themselves while they run to the bank with the money. Grandma doesn’t want her broadband service limited either, and she’s way too smart to believe a provider promising dramatic savings for less service [...]

what a lot of people forget is the word grandmother,

when I think of my grandmother she was 71 years old

as a grandfather and the grandmother we are now only 50

does a lot of difference in the wording we definitely are more tech savvy
than my grandmother was at 71.

telephone monopolies that’s exactly what they are now squeeze every dime
another voice connections before they utilize their 100% data network
I heard they make $.80 for every dollar of voice traffic

Just go’s to show TWC thinks people are stupid. I told my grandmother about this site. She will be making a response shortly =). She currently has TWC and would drop them in a heart beat. I guess being the town “mouth” as she says it has a lot of presence.

now be a new service offered in United States in about eight days
that is a 100% data network that travels through tunneling technology
the Company signed interconnection agreements with companies like AT&T
that will allow truly unlimited voice and data with Cap’s ever and no taxes.
and no contracts.

you’ll be able to tether for no additional charges AT&T is very smart
they don’t give away their store into the very last-minute when competition
forces them to do so.

It’s great to see even the more elderly people/others on-board and thinking the same way about these capping issues. But yet again, all you really need to find out that this is a ripoff coming at you is some common sense.

“But if they start telling me I have to worry about extra fees and meters to watch, I am getting rid of it. The Internet is not a credit card company.”

Absolutely classic. This demographic clearly understands about capping without any additional “education campaign”.
